    Compared to some of the threads here, this one is very lightweight, but i'd appreciate people's opinions none the less.

    Recently made someone's acquaintance, and we seem to get on quite well...

    Thing is i'm 34 and they're 27.

    It's not a huge age gap... but i'm concerned that it *is* a bit too big.

    Thoughts?

    It's barely an age gap at all. I think after about 25 age stops becoming as much of an issue. Best of luck! :)

    meh it's fine :)

    hardly a gap at all...not at that age. i find most people of both those ages are usually on the same page in life.

    I know someone who, at the age of 21, married her husband who was 65. His 2nd marriage and her first and they were very happily married until he died in his late 80's.

    Although that might be unusual, age really is not an issue if you are compatible and it's right for you both.

    Why do you consider 34 and 27 to be a big age gap?

    That nothing. I have friends 20 years older than me and also the son/Daughter of my friends, the 6/4 year old's who will chat me ear off and have to play with when I call around to their parents house call me his friend. 1/2 to 1 hour play before I can have a decent conversation with their parents. Now the 1 year old is beginning to get into the act.

    I also know a pensioner in his 60's and a 20 year old are best of friends, The pensioner travels around the countryside to events with him.
